    The secretaries board – made up of the heads of government departments and chaired by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet boss, Steven Kennedy

    The people who are asking for this are partisans, not regular employees of departments.

    The people they seek to protect don’t need protecting. You’ll notice that this isn’t coming from CPSU members, it’s coming from the bosses.

      Some are ‘aligned’ and swing in and out with each change in government, whilst some have been in established roles for both sides of government.

      But for the record, I never stated that they were union members or reps, just that they were public servants not politicians.

      (though my personal opinion is the CPSU couldn’t protect a house cat if it tried)
